Using Math Talk to Help Students Learn

Educational life, which is one of the important actors of the process of completing the developmental stages and personality development of individuals, also creates very important discourse environments in which people are involved. In-class discourse environments, which are closely related to the social development and academic success of students, are formed by the diversity of discourse both among students and between them and the teacher. Here, the discourse environments created by the teacher are more important in terms of their impact on the student's learning ability and attitude. Competencies in classroom management are an element that determines the quality of the classroom discourse environment. It is also more likely that trainers and teachers with the right practice skills will create a positive discourse environment. In addition to the correct use of communication techniques such as eye contact, body language and tone of voice during the expression of the discourses, taking into account the personal differences of each student is the primary step required to create a positive discourse environment. With the successful realization of this, the student will feel safe, which is the second important rule in the formation of a positive discourse environment.
